4bp deletion within the Mst77F coding sequence.
4bp deletion within the Mst77F coding sequence starting at amino acid 10.
Mst77FΔ1 homozygotes are male sterile; Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2, Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ3 and Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 transheterozygous males produce very rare progeny; Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 transheterozygous males and Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)ri-79c transheterozygous males are fertile but display reduced fertility, as compared to controls.
Mst77FΔ1 homozygous adult males present smaller seminal vesicles, which do not contain mature sperm, as compared to controls; Mst77FΔ1 homozygotes and Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 or Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 transheterozygotes present defective spermatid individualization, as compared to controls: spermatids are in disorganized bundles, retain the individualization complexes and present defects in nuclei morphology and chromatin compaction, as compared to controls.
Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 and Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 transheterozygotes occasionally present post-individualization spermatid bundles without obvious morphology defects, as compared to controls.

Mst77FΔ1, PBac{PB}Pka-R1c06969 and Mst77FΔ1, Df(2L)ΔMst35B double heterozygous males are fertile, but display a small reduction in fertility as compared to controls.
Mst77FΔ1/+, Df(2L)ΔMst35B/Df(2L)ΔMst35B males exhibit near sterility and defective spermatid individualization, as compared to controls: post-individualization spermatids are in disorganized bundles and exhibit defects in nuclei morphology and chromatin compaction. All these defects are rescued by one copy of Mst77F+tg.
The spermatogenesis defects exhibited by Mst77FΔ1 homozygotes are not enhanced by Df(2L)ΔMst35B heterozygosity or homozygosity, nor suppressed by one copy of ProtBT:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 is partially rescued by Mst77FmRFP1
Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 is partially rescued by Mst77F+tg
Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 is not rescued by Mst77FEGFP
Mst77FΔ1 fails to complement either Mst77FΔ2 or Mst77F[Δ3].
The male sterility of Mst77FΔ1 homozygotes and the male semi-sterility of Mst77FΔ1/Df(3L)BSC452 or Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 heterozygotes are partially rescued by one copy of Mst77F+tg; the male semi-sterility observed in Mst77FΔ1/Mst77FΔ2 transheterozygotes is also partially rescued by one copy of Mst77FT:Disc\RFP-mRFP, but not of Mst77FT:Avic\GFP-EGFP.
The spermatogenesis defects observed in Mst77FΔ1 homozygotes are also partially rescued by one copy of Mst77F+tg.
